The Peterson Family Health Sciences Hall at George Mason University is the new home for the College of Health and Human Services that has advanced the university’s goal of setting new standards for design, sustainability, and wellness.
Bowman geologists/hydrogeologists were responsible for the implementation of a groundwater investigation relative to a proposed quarry deepening.
Bowman completed a drainage basin analysis and groundwater study to evaluate the impact mining would have on the regional watershed within the Adirondack Mountains.

Bowman project hydrogeologists evaluated the deepening of a quarry that was located immediately adjacent to the Hudson River with a floor 200-ft below the river. A field investigation was developed, and an analysis was performed to evaluate the potential to deepen the quarry by an additional 100-ft.
Bowman investigated the groundwater and surface water relationships for a proposed mining site, which included an upland wetland system and surface drainage within the drainage basin.
Bowman prepared a groundwater work plan and implemented a groundwater investigation. The purpose of the investigation was to address the karstic terrain surrounding the 300-acre cement quarry.
Bowman geologists were responsible for the implementation of a groundwater investigation relative to a proposed quarry deepening. The work consisted of drilling oversight and logging of approximately 1,000 LF of bedrock borings, installation of bedrock piezometers, stream gauging, photolineament analysis, aquifer testing, and geologic mapping.
Bowman evaluated visual impacts to Viewshed for Hooper Garnet Mine Expansion. A digital terrain model was used to create expansion footprint. Topographic mapping was used to predict visual impacts. Mitigation measures and reclamation planning were developed to reduce visual impacts to the community.
Bowman directed a $2M program to design and construct a series of liner systems in the Bushkill Stream which borders Hercules Cement’s Stockertown Quarry. Water from the stream historically leaked into the quarry through karstic features with required expensive dewatering efforts.
